When replacing a single tooth bridges and implants are options. At Martin Dentistry we want to look at all options when considering your care. In this case the tooth was removed and in about 4-5 months and implant was placed. The teeth on either side of the space were intact and problem free so an implant was chosen over a bridge. The patient will be able to floss and chew like normal.
